Ever since his move to Borussia Dortmund in January, Erling Braut Haaland is simply unstoppable in Bundesliga, scoring 11 goals in 7 appearances for all competitions.
The 19-year-old Norwegian however, credited his new teammates of Borussia Dortmund for his scintillating performance.
“I’ve been here one month, but when my teammates are so good, it’s getting easy sometimes, you know, to create chances and to play with them, because they’re so good.
“The first time I played with Jadon, Marco, Thorgan, you know these guys, it just sits direct, and that’s how it is with world-class players.”
Haaland also reveals how he is motivated to be a professional footballer, just like his father, Alf-Inge Haaland.
“My father has been a big role model for me. I always said to myself I want to become a professional football player at a high level, and that’s what I said my whole life.
“To try to get better than him is also a goal and he has 34 games for Norway, and I think over 200 games in the Premier League, in England, so it’s still missing a bit.”
Since joining Die Borussen, he has acclimatized to the great atmosphere at his new home of Signal Iduna Park.
“When I walked out for the first time, on the bench of course, and I heard the Yellow Wall and the whole stadium singing, it was fantastic, it was like a dream to play in front of 80,000. It was another level.”
Haaland will be looking to maintain his fine form when Dortmund visits relegation candidate Werder Bremen tomorrow.
